Hi Nancy,

Hey Kev -

Great images, my favorite is still the first I think. I agree, the second attempt was a neat effect, but the light on the cloud seemed to be coming up from the cup. Cool idea though and worth pursuing. Nice job blending the ship into the choppy 'sea'.

Hi Bill,
Sorry to disagree but there are no clouds in the image. It is of a storm at sea and what you may think is a cloud is in effect white water rushing towards the boat.
Still as they say, each to his own.

Hi Kev -

Thought I saw a cloud along with the lightning on the deleted second photo. Guess the long days are catching up with me ;-)

Clouds or not, I enjoyed the entries.

Bill,
You are right in the deleted photo there was a cloud but I didn't like the effect, so I deleted it and put in the ship.
Don't worry, nothing wrong with your eyesight!

Karen - Thanks for enetering the challenge. I liked the champagne flute effect.

Will - Life rule #1 for me too .... never go anywhere without a camera and a cup of coffee.

Gary - Beautiful holiday feel ... with a nice frosty nog.

Hi,guys!Just took a tour of billz' challenge entries-magnifique!

Karen-I love them all,especially the star effect in the one with the bromeliad!
Kev-that is great!That's not the Edmund Fitzgerald or the Bismark,is it?
Gary-I like them both-where can I find the tut on making the frosty effect(and the stars on the edges?)
Will-Is that an iced cappucino?Really neat!
Bill-cool!(But not the hot sauce!)Really good!

All the Best!
